NICARAGUA - Susan Meiselas
At the end of the 1970s, American photographer Susan Meiselas, a member of the Magnum agency, went to Nicaragua and shot some of the most widely circulated images of the Sandinista revolution that overthrew the regime of dictator Anastasio Somoza. In 1981, she published a book offering a detailed visual account of the events, a work that today stands as a model in the genre of the photographic essay. As commemorations unfold, her photographs are elevated to iconic status, reproduced in profusion as posters and stencils.
